Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Their all about the same, of the three probably the Windsor is the better. BUT, all three are about the same quality as Walmart Schwinn Varsity which can be had for $200; in other words, none of the 3 are worth anywhere near the $900 or so retail price they claim their worth.

On closer look, the Micargi seems to have better components with the use of Sora so maybe that might be better then the Windsor.

+1 they're pretty much the same bike with different stickers.

Pick the one that appeals to you the most.

None. Buy a higher-quality used bike.

At that price you would do better buying used.

Find out what your size is and look for bikes in your price range on ebay.
